Green As You Can Be

Yep…we have 64 eggs.  Well, we HAD 64.

We want chickens really bad. Only a few, though. My friend Judy went out of town for a few days and wanted us to babysit her chickens. We could have all the eggs we gathered. She has 19 chickens. I didn’t think they would all lay everyday. They laid about 15 per day. So then we had a lot of eggs. I don’t waste anything. (ever)

Now what to do with 64 eggs. First I gave a dozen to my son. We have had many breakfast where I have fried, scrambled and poached them. My husband wanted to make crepes. they turned out excellent, I made a cheesecake, yummy. I still have eggs. I know they will stay fresh for 45 days, so I think we can eat them all.

Last week the county extension office had a workshop on raising chickens. It was very informative. (check you local county office, they may have classes, too) Got lots of hand-outs. The turnout was huge. There were over 50 people there.  Seems everyone wants to have a few chickens in there back yard.

“Someone” ate a piece of cake before I could take a picture.
